ME TOO!! I posted the reply above yours at 2:56 and on my evening commute home from downtown Boston about at 5:45pm, my NAV had me 15 miles to the north and east. And resetting the MMI did not help!
Knock on wood? Too little, too late... UHOH
Edit: Next morning, all ok again. It fixed itself... befuddled. Mimi (my affectionate name for the girl in the NAV who gives me direction, much like my wife) was probably miffed with me for sharing with you all.

Guys,
As I have posted before, I too had the issues with my NAV and all they did was swap out the Roof Fin and it fixed my problems.
@longbow42: If your antenna is bad they can swap out the NAV unit all they want, it still is not going to fix the problem. If I remember correctly they already swapped out the NAV unit once. What are the chances you got another bad unit in that short amount of time?

Hi Guys and Gals,
This is my first post and new to Audi. I drive a 2008 BMW 750 Li with 46000 miles. My wife always complains about the car being old fashion due to the not so updated interior.
Anyway, the last few days I have some problems with the car and have been in and out of BMW service center like my second home.
Yesterday, after leaving the service center, my eyes caught a sharp A8 outside a Audi dealership. I have some time so I went in to check it out.
It was a 2011 A8 artic white with 41000 miles on it. It's also a CPO. The price is $47,000.
It was getting interesting as the sale manager seems very interested in my BMW. I jumped into the A8 for a test drive.
The interior is so much different than my 2008 BMW. Very refresh and advanced. Coming from my BMW's 4.8 V8, I felt the A8's acceleration is a little disappointing, but nevertheless not a deal breaker.
After the test drive, the sales manager offered $22000 for my BMW. Of course I did not decide on the spot as I am not prepared and have not done any research on the A8.
After sleeping on this for 1 night. I think I will do it.
I am happy to be part of this forum.
Thanks,
Anthony

Price for the 2011 A8 with 40,000 miles is good. Note that its driven more than usual. Also, I bought a new A8L at 70 miles in 2011 but have had a LOT of issues till now. Thank God for the warranty but I've had problems with air bags, lighter fuse, a piece of broken plastic that was found inside the AC (inside the dash board).
NEW issue as of last week, a "clicking" sound on the left side of the dash board next to the steering wheel.
You only have 9000-10000 miles till the warranty expires. Definitely take extended bumper to bumper warranty (it will cost like $5k) AND they will not tell you but its $100 deductible EVERY time there is an issue but I think its still worth it.
Think about it and look around a bit more. Look into Merc E 350 also.

For me seems to be from cold start, mostly with serious yaw changes.
Had a code via VCDS for the yaw sensor, clear but still there.
Sounds like it's behind the headlamp switch....
